Car leasing: the 2003 Lexus RX

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2003 Lexus RX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Before buying the 2003 Lexus RX, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 29 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, vehicle speed control and air bags; have those parts checked.

What the specs mean

The powertrain here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The combined figure, 13.1 L/100 km, means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $203.10. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the RX

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. EPA lists 906 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who rents the RX

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the RX tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
